The Houston Independent School District board of trustees voted
Thursday evening to approve spending nearly $1.25 million taxpayer
dollars to rename eight schools with politically correct monikers that
erase all traces of their historical Confederate ties.

The board approved $1,245,197 of taxpayer funding to re-brand eight
campuses and related items, which is less than the $2 million
originally estimated by
the school board last year. Those funds will cover, in part, athletic
and band uniforms, plus temporary banners for those schools under
reconstruction, the Houston Chroniclereported, noting the lower price tag a partial victory for community members who, in June, filed a lawsuit against the school board.

The lawsuit argues the
school board’s action is illegal. The plaintiffs also seek to protect
the schools as monuments under state law. According to the the Chronicle, Goforth
law firm attorneys representing the plaintiffs indicated Houston ISD
needs to obtain clearances from agencies which oversee historical
preservation before they can change the school names. The
district denies the claim.

Sharyl Attkisson: There’s definitely tilted news
coverage. I can’t imagine any objective observer who would think
otherwise. And, I tell you, I was in a room of journalists in which one
of them encouraged the others quite publicly to step up and do something
because he said the outcome of this election was so important. And
the other thing he said led me to believe and others. He was talking
about journalists stepping outside of their role to make sure Donald
Trump doesn’t get elected. And he received applause for that. It’s fine for the pundits to do that but I think journalists are widely overstepping their roles.

Steve Malzberg: Obviously this was an organized event. Where were you? Can you tell us who said it?

After disappearing for a couple of weeks, the hacker “Guccifer 2.0” returned late this afternoon to provide a new headache for Democrats.

In a post to his WordPress blog, the vandal--who previously provided
nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committee e-mails to
Wikileaks--uploaded an Excel file that includes the cell phone numbers
and private e-mail addresses of nearly every Democratic member of the
House of Representatives.

The Excel file also includes similar contact information for hundreds
of congressional staff members (chiefs of staff, press secretaries,
legislative directors, schedulers) and campaign personnel.

In announcing the leak of the document, “Guccifer 2.0” reported that
the spreadsheet was stolen during a hack of the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee. “As you see I wasn’t wasting my time! It was even
easier than in the case of the DNC breach,” the hacker wrote.

Hillary’s health is declining, as anyone who has looked at her can
see. The question is: What condition does she have? A board certified
Anesthesiologist has written a memo of Hillary’s health. Feel free to
pass it along to doctors and to analytics and criticize it.

U.S. troops fighting the Islamic State alongside their Afghan
counterparts in eastern Afghanistan were forced to leave behind military
equipment and weapons, along with the identification cards of a fellow
soldier, when they came under fire last month, according to Gen. Charles
Cleveland, an American military spokesman.

UPDATE:
Lawsuit FILED Monday, July 11th. See below or TrustVote.org for
details. Attorney Cliff Arnebeck explains the criminal lawsuit,
including mainstream media's complicity in flagrant and widespread
election fraud. Please share this as there has been a complete blackout
of this story by all the major news networks, journals and newspapers.

07/13/2016 Update from TrustVote.org...

"I am thrilled
to announce that Bob Fitrakis the lawyer and board member and writer of
the Columbus Institute of Contemporary Journalism, has filed the first
Ohio Election Integrity Lawsuit against Edison Media Research to release
the raw data which shows such dramatic differences on exit polls and
electronic vote totals in eleven states in the presidential primaries
throughout the US. The file number and details of this lawsuit as
transmitted to me are as follows:

Although I have presented the file
number of the lawsuit at this time, as you may find out the contents are
not available for viewing at this time. Nonetheless since so many of
you wanted the file number, I am including it in this announcement for
you. I will let all of you know as soon as the details of the lawsuit
will become available. The biggest opportunity in informing you in
detail about this lawsuit is the education that goes with informing you
about our election systems.

The following transaction was entered by Fitrakis, Robert on 7/11/2016 at 5:03 PM EDT and filed on 7/11/2016

The exit polls have been adjusted to fit
electronic vote totals since 2004 when they appeared to show Kerry
winning against Bush. Explanations were developed at that time to
explain the differences between the exit polls and the vote totals which
was that exit polls are generally unreliable. This assessment of exit
poll reliability was developed by Karl Rove who was an assistant to
George Bush. In order to keep the Media Consortium business money coming
in, Edison Media Research has always edited, or “cleaned” as they put
it their data since that time. The raw data exit polls are stored at the
University of Connecticut. No one has ever requested them. We are
requesting it for the first time.

People who want to see raw data are
often labeled “conspiracy theorists”. We want to make sure you know
that we will be described as such. Actually, we are just people wanting
to see unedited exit polls and to learn what really happened during our
primary elections. As you may know, the exit polls and the electronic
vote totals are very different in eleven states. The Media Consortium
and Edison Media Research canceled the exit polls for California, New
Jersey, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, New Mexico and
Puerto Rico, after receiving a letter from Cliff Arnebeck, the other
lawyer who works with Bob Fitrakis asking the Edison Research to put a
hold on the raw data.

We are expecting the Edison Media Research to
file a motion to dismiss. They have up to sixty days to do this. During
this time, we need to spread the word about this lawsuit to as many
people as possible. We also need to raise funds to address further legal
costs. If you feel inspired to support us, please donate to this
lawsuit on the Ohio Election Integrity lawsuit button on Trustvote.org.
We really appreciate your help however large or small. Thank you!! Our
costs are going to rise significantly now. If we raise money beyond our
legal costs, we will be able to direct some of this money towards
alternative media education so that many people in the US begin to know
about the kind of election editing that goes on.

If we are successful
with this lawsuit, we will then file another lawsuit to look at the
paper ballots. Everyone will be educated throughout this process about
the real role of Edison Media Research and the Media Consortium in
presenting news about our elections. The Media Consortium consists of
CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, Fox News and the Associated Press (AP). Our
examining the ballots will show us who really won the Democratic
presidential primary. Although Bernie may have already conceded by that
time or before then, at least he will know what the truth was about how
many votes he really garnered. He can do with that what he wants.
Additionally, voters will know the truth about the Democratic
presidential primary and how votes were handled.

The results of looking at these ballots has substantial consequences for American people..."

Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill deducted $1,042,000 in
charitable contributions last year — $1 million of which went to their
own family non-profit, the Clinton Foundation.
Clinton released her tax forms on Friday in a move that is seen as a way to pressure Donald Trump to
release his taxes. The GOP nominee has refused to release the records,
saying that he is under a routine audit.

Iran is permitted to pursue the construction of two newly announced
nuclear plants under the parameters of last summer’s nuclear agreement,
Obama administration officials informed the Washington Free Beacon, setting the stage for Tehran to move forward with construction following orders from President Hassan Rouhani.

Ali Salehi, Iran’s top nuclear official, announced on Thursday that
Iran has invested $10 billion into the construction of two new nuclear
plants after receiving orders from Rouhani, according to reports in Iran’s state-controlled media.

I got a lot of flak yesterday from readers for merely posing the
question of whether Trump joked about assassinating his Democratic
opponent. Of course, in the article, I had concluded that he didn’t, but
I think most of the outraged readers didn’t make it past the headline.
It was obvious that Trump’s comments were being blown way out of
proportion by the media.

Even having predicted that the media's attacks on Trump would be
unprecedented, I'm still amazed. Every single news outlet is dedicated
to hysterically denouncing Trump, every minute of every day, while
cooing at Hillary.

Everything Hillary has ever touched has failed, been engulfed in
scandal, resulted in massive investigations, litigation, financial
ruin, prison or death. The final stage of any Hillary enterprise is a
grand announcement that Hillary did not technically break the law. Or no
one can prove she did. Or, even if she did, no one ever gets prosecuted
for it.

She's prone to coughing fits and lapses of memory in the middle
of speeches, and falls down all the time. But that's not nearly as
important as the media's manufactured story about Trump throwing a baby
out of a rally!

My dad always told me that conservative candidates have to work twice
as hard as their liberal opponents to win elections because they’re
fighting two opponents: the Democratic Party and the media.

The usual suspects from left-leaning major media outlets like The New York Times,
MSNBC, CNN and even entertainment networks are doing everything
in their power to ensure a Clinton victory.

Look no further than to Wolf
Blitzer mincingaround
and drinking wine at the Democratic convention, celebrating Hillary’s
nomination. But the propaganda skewing this election runs much deeper
than just the media: our iPhones, iPads, social media networks, Google
and even video games are all in the tank for Hillary Clinton—and it’s
chilling.

Breitbart News published the following report
on June 14, 2016. We are re-publishing it now to provide context amid
national media controversy surrounding presidential candidate Donald
Trump’s comment that President Obama “founded ISIS.”

WASHINGTON, DC — Hillary Clinton received a classified intelligence
report stating that the Obama administration was actively supporting Al
Qaeda in Iraq, the terrorist group that became the Islamic State.

The memo made clear that Al Qaeda in Iraq was speaking through
Muhammad Al Adnani, who is now the senior spokesman for the Islamic
State, also known as ISIS. Western and Gulf states were supporting the
terrorist group to try to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad, who
was being propped up by the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese.

Voters don’t share President Obama’s upbeat assessment of the nation and
strongly believe the United States is coming apart. Even the majority
of his fellow Democrats share that gloomy assessment.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that
72% of Likely U.S. Voters believe America is a more divided nation than
it was four years ago. Clearly voters think things are getting worse
because that’s up 11 points from the 61% who felt that way just before Election Day two years ago.

Only seven percent (7%) say the country is less divided than it was four
years ago, while 19% think the level of division is about the same. (To
see survey question wording, click here.)

Macy's will close 100 stores in the coming year, shedding about 15 percent of its total footprint.

Ruby Tuesday's will close about 95 of its restaurants, the company announced Thursday.
The Tennessee-based chain said the closures account for about 13 percent of all its properties. The chain operates 724 Ruby Tuesday restaurants in 44 states and 14 foreign countries.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
